Velvet Plant. 



Velvet Plant seems 

 an appropriate name, 

 the leaves being al- 

 ways taken as artificial. 

 They and the stems 

 are entirely covered 

 with purple hairs, shin- 

 ing, glistening, reflect- 

 ing many new colors. 

 Any change in position 

 appears to alter the 

 color of the foliage.

 variety. Fruit has been

 excelled. No budding or 



grafting necessary. It 

 fruits when quite small, 

 and makes a lovely house
